Liver cancer is a significant public health issue in Mongolia, with the highest age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for liver cancer in the world. The primary causes of liver cancer in Mongolia are alcohol consumption, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Over the past 30 years, there has been a steady increase in the incidence and number of deaths caused by liver cancer in Mongolia. Alcohol use is a primary cause of liver cancer mortality, particularly affecting men, while viral hepatitis remains a major public health concern in the country. Tailored approaches are needed to address the unique challenges faced by specific target populations in Mongolia. This analysis provides crucial evidence to support policy guidance, inform evidence-based decisions, and guide public health prevention measures in Mongolia. [Extracted from the article]
